How can I share and sync contacts and calendar from my iPhone 6 with another iPhone 6?

4.3 flash timeline?

Hi brains,

I'm currently flashing the 4.3 image through fastboot and its been well over an hour. I know its a big file, but this seems odd. Anyone know how long it should take? I'm gonna assume if i pull the cord and try a do-over I will end up with a door stopper.

thoughts?

No.. Longer than 10 minutes and you've got a problem, lol. Should be much faster. What OS are you using (windows, Mac, etc..)? And are you using my guide in the Rooting section?

Re: 4.3 flash timeline?

using osx. its been giving me grief with not recognizing terminal commands, but when it says its executing it has been.

I'm using a few instruction sets. it's hard to follow who's is who's as they link around a lot. Basically i'm using this:

Download the full occam factory image, which includes the full system, bootloader, recovery, kernel (boot.img), and radio. It's a clean slate for these components - they'll flash cleanly over anything you have now.
Instead of using the bundled script called flash-all, you will unpack the tgz (tar/gz) archive, and then the zip contained within as well. This will put all the components into one folder:
Follow the excellent guide over here and make sure to omit step D10, which overwrites userdata. Here are the commands you will be executing, for reference:
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader*.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. fastboot format cache
9. fastboot reboot
Note: Instead of unpacking the image*.zip and flashing system and boot manually, you can actually do fastboot update image*.zip - this won't delete data (you would pass a -w flag if you wanted that to happen), but it will re-flash recovery back to stock if you were running a custom one. You can then flash it back, or just use the commands above instead. Either way, the result will be the same.

it worked up until the system flash.

I just checked your guide and it is the one I used to root the device.

Update,

I stopped terminal and tried to flash again, same problem. I stopped it again and booted it up. it seems to be working. I'm charging it right now, then I think I will try to load it from the sd card
